Time has arrived:

1.) The ‘Official’ start of 2013 summer and;

2.) The inaugural Lawler Irish Fest.

I’m fairly certain that God (Who most certainly has a special place in His heart for descendants of the Emerald Isle) smiled down on this northeast Iowa slice of earthly Heaven and planned that both great events would occur on the same  weekend!!!

All that’s left now is for Him to provide us with perfect weather June 21-23 for the tremendous celebration.

I’m not going to start naming names for fear of leaving someone out.  Rather, this is a general shout out and salute to the many many many committee members and volunteers who are bringing this awesome party to fruition.  You’ve done a tremendous job, gang.  Thank you in advance for your hard work and countless hours of preparation.

No sense reiterating what’s going on for three exciting days; it all spelled out on this webpage.  Take a look throughout this fabulous site for details of what’s going to happen from Friday night through Sunday afternoon.

Great music.  Terrific food.  Informal family and class reunions. And wonderful stories of  Lawler-Past and Lawler-Present.

Don’t know about the rest of you…but for me it’s summed up in two words: Can’t wait!
